On the solvability of one class of boundary value problems (Q2644819)

This paper deals with the vector differential equation \(\ddot r=f(t,r,\dot r)\) and the corresponding boundary value problem \(r(0)=0,\quad r(\rho)=r_ c,\| \dot r(0)\| =v_ 0,\) where \(\rho >0\) is not fixed, and the vector \(r_ c\) and scalar \(v_ 0>0\) are given. This problem has a wide scope of corresponding technical and physical applications because it may be interpreted in the following way: there is a source of particles with fixed energy, these particles are moving according to the known physical field \(f(t,r,\dot r)\). The question is: under what conditions will a particle from this source attend the given point \(r=r_ c?\) Here the time of moving \(\rho\) is not fixed. The object of this paper is to formulate sufficient conditions for solvability of the above mentioned problem and to present the procedure of constructing the corresponding solution. For solving this problem, methods of functional analysis are used.
